I trapped my bix on a school roof today,ya ya i know, stop flying in populated places where plane sucking roofs are, to be honest i was flying in some wind i am not quite used to,20km with gusts uo to 35km. Get you giggles on.
E-mailed a freind to see if i can borrow his BIG LADDER. It's not that bad though only a 15-20 foot climb is all.. Only bad thing abou it is the lipo will be toast before i get it back.OH WELL.

Havent hit a roof yet but Ive gotten my Bixler stuck in two trees so far. The first time was when I was coming in for a landing and didnt realize how close I was and the second was when my AP went crazy. I ended up buying a 35 ft telescoping pole to get my plane back. The trees here dont have lower branches so its impossible to climb them.

Hey proff 100, is that latch method for your wings still working, you know, the method from antennahead?

I took them out after the spar cover failed and glued the wings in. It did work well but with dual lock available now I would use that method. It's 5 times stronger than velcro / standard hook and loop.

I just discovered you can mix hook and loop with dual-lock to create a nice solid join that isn't too hard to seperate - use it for batteries at the mo' (standard on the battery, dual-lock strip in the fuse)

I found the dual lock wing mod too hard to split - the lock sticky side needs to be GG/epoxy'ed onto the wing!

I find that if you lightly sand the foam to remove the shine and then clean with alcohol, the supplied glue on the dual lock works fine. Mine has been in place for 50+ flights on my SS.

Don't you mean to sayAJ has put togeather many different wing attatchment meathods from many different flyers. Tthe way you say it would suggest he thought of them all.

Of course AJ didn't design all the different methods for attaching the wings but he was generous enough with his time to identify and include them in the initial posts of this thread to make it easier for new owners of Skyfurfers / Bixlers. We owe him a big thank you for his work as thread starter and thread moderator. Remember, there is no one being paid to run the thread.
